There are many positive strategies that the Starbucks Coffee Company uses to support its
employees. I learned that one of the perks of working at Starbucks is a chance to participate in a
wellness program. According to Your Special Blend, a list of all benefits given to Starbucks
employees, the wellness program provides tools and opportunities to help partners learn about

employees. Although the company does a lot of good in terms of stress management, providing
resources for employees, and providing counseling options, the bottom line is that the main goal

nothing on the menu at Starbucks that would sustain a healthy, balanced, nutritional diet over

eating options. When I am asked to bring food for company events, I will look for nutritional

make every effort to provide time for my fellow employees to complete their health and safety
online training modules. By leading by example, I will lead my workplace towards a healthier
lifestyle.
